BaseTools: Current status of BaseTools/Source/Python

BaseTools: Current status of BaseTools/Source/Python

[Ayush Singh]

Hello everyone,

I have been poking around the BaseTools to understand its
implementation since I will have to add Rust build support as a part
of my GSoC project. The `BaseTools/Source/Python` directory contains a
README file that states that the folder was supposed to be removed
from the repo on 202102.

It is still present in the repo, but more importantly, it still seems
to be getting commits. Initially, I thought that maybe it was a mirror
kind of situation but the commit history does not match, so I'm not
sure.

Can anyone tell me what the current status of migration is, or if it
has been canceled?

Yours Sincerely,
Ayush Singh

Hi Ayush,

The migration is still working in progress. 
In order to ensure the normal use of users, the current bug fixes are still based on BaseTools in edk2. 
After all the migrations are completed, an official notification will be sent, and the developments and bug fixing works will be transferred to the edk2-basetools repo.

Thanks,
Christine (Yuwei)
